Description:

Swish-e is Simple Web Indexing System for Humans - Enhanced.

Swish-e can quickly and easily index directories of files or remote
web sites and search the generated indexes.

Swish-e is extremely fast in both indexing and searching, highly
configurable, and can be seamlessly integrated with existing web sites
to maintain a consistent design. Swish-e can index web pages, but can
just as easily index text files, mailing list archives, or data stored
in a relational database.

Swish-e key features are:
- Emacs/Gnus mail index in cooordination with nnir.el
- Fast - many factors that affect speed, but a search on this server
that returns a thousand documents takes only a few seconds.
- Flexible - a number of configuration options provide you a high
degree of control over what is indexed and how.
- Powerful - the AND, OR and NOT operators are supported, words can be
truncated (using *), and searches can be limited to particular fields
(META tag fields, TITLEs, etc.)
- Free - nothing, zip, zero.
- It's made for Web sites - In indexing HTML files, SWISH-E can ignore
data in most tags while giving higher relevance to information in
header and title tags. Titles are extracted from HTML files and appear
in the search results. SWISH can automatically search your whole Web
site for you in one pass, if it's under one directory. You can also
limit your search to words in HTML titles, comments, emphasized tags,
and META tags. In addition, 8-bit HTML characters can be indexed,
converted, and searched.
- It creates portable indexes - Index files consist of only one file,
so they can be transported around and easily maintained.
- You can fix the source - We encourage people to send in patches and
suggestions on how to make SWISH-E better. You may want to join the
SWISH-E Discussion.
